Image after horrifying image. I just can't get the faces of the survivors out of my mind. Thank God for Texas, who has opened the floodgates. But still, after seeing the pictures of the rows and rows of cots in the Astrodome, I can't even fathom how all those people must feel.
If I hadn't just started a job, I would seriously consider going down there with the Red Cross. As it is now, I wish I could do more than a small $$ donation. I'm very far away from the disaster, (West Coast).
One thing I would encourage all of you to do if you are able, is to give blood. No one in Louisiana is giving blood right now and blood is needed for those who are sick. I've been giving regularly the past year and it really isn't an inconvenience, for those who are healthy. It's small, but it's something.
